RE:	May 25, 2010 Agenda Item – Set a Bid Date for Wastewater Pump Station 04 Discharge Piping Replacement

Please include the following item on the City Commission Agenda for consideration at the May 25, 2010 meeting:

Set a Bid Opening Date of June 15, 2010 for Bid No. B1036; Wastewater Pump Station 04 Discharge Piping Replacement

Project History/Status

On May 5, 2010 during routine maintenance inspection of wastewater pump station # 04 located at 810 Walnut, department staff found the discharge piping for one of the three lift pumps leaking. At that time a more detailed inspection was performed on all of the piping in the wet well revealing that the discharge piping and couplings for all three pumps was badly deteriorated and in need of replacement. This station services the entire North Lawrence area.

The work to be bid will require a contractor to

1. Setup and maintain adequate bypass pumping to assure uninterrupted service to utility customers.

2. Remove and dispose of existing 8” discharge piping located in the wet well from all three pumps.

3. Furnish and install new 8” flanged ductile-iron discharge piping.

Project Funding: 2010 Operations and maintenance budget 501 7410 2531

Action Request:  Set a Bid Opening Date of June 15, 2010 for Bid No. B1036; Wastewater Pump Station 04 Discharge Piping Replacement
